147: Chapter 48 Clang!

147: Chapter 48 Clang!

Time rewound to several seconds before.

The battle between Demon and Dust Explosion was changing in the blink of an eye; Qiluo was able to see every movement thanks to her abilities, while the less observant Milais found it dazzling.

Dust Explosion was injured…

hit the ground…

Demon came after, both without any clear movement, as if they were confronting each other on the rooftop…

Demon’s hand was pointing in their direction.

The silver-haired young man’s hand was flashing, as if fiddling with the white pistol he had taken.

Was he taunting Dust Explosion, or…?

“Big sis, your eyes are sharp, can you see the gun in Demon’s hand?”

“I can!

Gongsun Ce raised the gun, and then he crushed it—oh my God!”

He and Qiluo let out a simultaneous exclamation as Gongsun Ce’s body was abruptly enveloped by Purple Smoke, followed by another bizarre explosion!

“Damn it!

That gun was just a smokescreen, huh?!”

Milais was infuriated.

He couldn’t grasp the mechanics of Dust Explosion’s power, nor understand Demon’s intent.

Were they hoping for help from them?

But what could they do?

If caught in the attack range, the two of them would be finished, and now they could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

Only watch…

watch…?

“Big sis, did you see it clearly?” the middle schooler asked, nervously licking his lips, “Just before the explosion, did the gun break first or did the smoke appear first?”

“…”

Qiluo fell into a rare silence, this normally precise girl took a long time to recall and then uncertainly said, “I think it was…”

Milais took off his hat and fiercely grabbed his hair.

Vaguely, he felt he was on to something.

·

The impact of the Purple Explosion was too swift; all Gongsun Ce could do was barely control his flight away.

His body ached terribly, as if struck by a car, and his right arm, protected by white matter, even lost sensation!

“——!”

The rooftop was blasted apart, the damaged concrete ceiling was pulled downward by gravity, and catching a glimpse of the building’s interior, Gongsun Ce’s eyes widened.

At that moment, he regretted deeply.

He should have focused on moving the battlefield before considering the fight with Dust Explosion!

That point had slipped his mind…

The two of them were standing atop the school building.

This was a school!

Setting aside all concerns, at that moment, Gongsun Ce unleashed his superpowers with all his might!

Dust Explosion cautiously changed her position, dodging attacks while preparing for the next round of explosions.

But Gongsun Ce’s counter-attack never came.

The purple-haired woman was surprised, and upon discovering her opponent’s actions, she found them unbelievable, yet absurd.

“Hey hey!

Mr.

Demon, are you out of your mind?”

Dust Explosion pointed to the ground below her, and she was so astonished that she didn’t even rush to launch another attack.

“In the direst of straits, you’re wasting your precious power protecting the environment?!”

The dust cleared, and the truth was revealed.

The school building remained unscathed, Gongsun Ce had used telekinesis to hold the shattered roof in place, using white matter to mend the broken structure!

Had he used all his power for self-protection, the superpower user might not have sustained such severe injuries, and this was the cause of Dust Explosion’s surprise.

“…The battle between superpower users must not affect the schools, that’s a rule tacitly observed by everyone in this city.”

Kardesia and Dragon Head, he and Dust Explosion, two battles that almost reached the central district but not a single innocent was harmed.

This was the result of rules hidden beneath the surface of chaos.

People unrelated to the battle fled to the nearest school for sanctuary.

Those engaged in combat would never target a school.

Whether it was Kardesia’s flames or the bullets from Wing of Death, all attacks consciously avoided the schools, skirting around the untouchable safe haven protected by the rules.

Dust Explosion furrowed her brows.

“You’re talking to me about rules?”

The look in his eyes was like that of an elder viewing a disobedient child, and this condescending gaze made her very uncomfortable.

“Even at the height of Wing of Death’s rampage, those troublemakers wouldn’t attack a school.

That’s where their former classmates, their former friends were, things so precious that even they couldn’t abandon!

The school is this city’s sanctuary, the refuge for those who fled the streets because of our battle, and a considerable number of them are hiding underneath this very school building!”

Gongsun Ce’s calm voice carried an increasingly fervent rage.

“Think about your identity!

Regardless of being strong or weak, all superpower users are ‘students’; do you understand what that means?

‘School’ is the Holy Sanctuary of the Sky City, the one place where the city’s citizens can enjoy a sense of normalcy and peace!”

Even during the most chaotic times years ago, Sky City maintained a basic order, precisely because of this.

There were absolutely safe areas.

Not everyone’s residence was equipped with specially reinforced safe rooms, and most ordinary citizens could only take refuge in schools during conflicts.

School teachers would protect the students, and the disputes on the streets wouldn’t affect the schools.

Even the unprincipled scientists in white would at most send people to persuade the students in school but would never directly target superpower users within the school.

If even the minimal safe zones were violated, the delicate balance sustaining peace might completely collapse.

When the “ordinary people” driven to desperation also started rampaging in the streets, Sky City would entirely lose its order.

No one wanted to witness such a scene, not the big shots of Dragon Head, not the ordinary citizens, and not even the gangsters in the back alleys.
